Mary’s Story
August 2, 2022
With domestic violence cases rising due to the current crisis, Mary wasn’t sure how she would be able to meet the increased need. With the current physical barriers, many of her program participants didn’t have the same access to the support of their friends and families.
United Way worked rapidly with our partners to identify the needs of the most vulnerable and rallied the community to provide supports for domestic violence survivors. Because supporters do local good, Mary can help those in need heal and find safety.
Donate to do local good.
